Here you will write your draft for you wiki article (including at least 1 reference).
A project is typically formed in order to create value for a business in the form of a solution, a service, a product or similar.[1] The ability to complete a project successfully relies on a team’s ability to meet the goals of the project, on time and on budget. A key element to delivering a successful project is the accurate estimation of how much needs to be done to reach the goals of the project, how the work will be broken down so it can be achieved and when each task should be initiated. If teams do not plan accordingly, deadlines will not be met, risking delays and the success of the project.
This article will cover the aspect of effective planning for successfully project delivery, through the use of an estimation technique known as Planning Poker. Typically used in an Agile methodology to project management, Planning Poker helps teams more effectively judge how long tasks will be take to complete, by including the entire team in estimations. More accurate completion times for tasks allows for better project planning, and a more realistic deadline for the project, helping meet business objectives and stakeholder expectations on time and on budget (PMBOK® Guide).
